Subject:ACP poses severe hazards to our state
I hope the Commission will understand that the risks to our environment and to our people in the path of the
ACP are too severe and the costs are too high. In addition, know that the extra power does not appear to be
needed now, or in the near future.

Please note this summary from Clean Water for North Carolina:
In the past 30 years, FERC has granted “certificates” to all but two U.S. pipeline projects, with no credible
assessment of actual need project need. The Commission can’t be relied upon to protect the health and
environment of North Carolina. The Div. of Water Resources’ permit review must conscientiously require
measures to protect the waters and existing uses of water resources. Believing it will be impossible to construct
the ACP without adverse impacts to streams, rivers, wetlands, groundwater, aquatic life, human health and
Environmental Justice, we ask the Div. of Water Resources not to grant a 401 permit for the Atlantic Coast
Pipeline.

Furthermore, people with relatively few resources, once again, would be asked to make the greatest
sacrifices. This, too, must be of concern.

Thank you for considering my viewpoint.

Sincerely,

Lewise Busch, zip 27514
